Since in most helicopter types (but the EC-130) you load patients head first are the pilots cautioned to accelerate particularly slow? Because I haven't witnessed a different takeoff technique in HEMS that'd differ from normal helicopter takeoff techniques (not flying HEMS myself!)

Mmmm .....
And as good an argument as I've ever heard AGAINST Cat A procedure departures being used with HEMS ops ....
